League Champion 1,655 Posted February 27, 2023 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How unlikely it is that those who worship riches will enter the kingdom of God!" And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, "Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God." The Liberals then fled from the scene to plot with Herod's people against Jesus, and plan how they might destroy him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wiffleball 4,725 Posted February 27, 2023 Well, since you brought it up. Here's what made Joe Bryant's board lose their freaking minds a few years ago. 1. Repeatedly, throughout both the Old and New testaments but especially the new testament, Jesus and his dad constantly remind us to have the faith of a child. 2. God adores children above All else. Above All else. 3. Moses allegedly came down from the mountain to announce the 10 most important things you could do or not do to ensure salvation. The most important things allegedly from God himself. Which is the only time that God has manifested his word (other than your views on Jesus christ.) 4. Now, bear in mind that Moses not only had a speech impediment, but he was losing the crowd big time. That's just historical fact. And he suddenly comes back with the 15 I mean 10 commandments and most of them had to do with crowd control. 5. Now you can go ahead and skip number four if you want to. But the 10 most important things that God himself saw as what he needed to communicate with humanity for all of eternity? 6. Not a God damn word about raping your daughter or beating your sons. Not a word. Not even one you could sort of back your way into. But four f****** commandments that said glorify & worship your/Moses' God in various ways. And literally, God forbid you covet your neighbor's lawn mower, but it's okay to ass rape your infant daughter? "But but, historical context!" Really? Because didn't you just get done telling me it's the LITERAL word of god? God dang man. Wake up. I was trained by the Jesuits. They're the intellectual Green berets of ecumenical studies. They firmly and repeatedly drill into you that Blind Faith is no faith whatsoever. Damn. Love god. Praise god. Beseech god. but fer fucksake, that Bible has been so edited rejected, compromised, Lost in translation and religious political doctrine as to be absolutely worthless as a literal doctrine. - Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're the intellectual Green berets of ecumenical studies. They firmly and repeatedly drill into you that Blind Faith is no faith whatsoever. Not too difficult to find. Leviticus 18:6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him,.... Or to all "the rest of his flesh" (t), which together with his make one flesh, who are of the same flesh and blood with him, and are united together in the bonds of consanguinity; and such, with respect to a man, are his mother, sister, and daughter; his mother, of whom he was born, his sister, who lay in and sprung from the same "venter" he did, and his daughter, who is his own flesh; and with respect to a woman, her father brother, and son, who are in the same degree of relation, and both sexes are included in this prohibition; for though in the original text it is "a man, a man" (u), yet as it takes in every man, so every woman: hence, as Jarchi observes, it is expressed in the plural number, "do not ye approach", to caution both male and female; and it is also understood by the Talmudists (w) of Gentiles as well as Israelites, for they ask, what is the meaning of the phrase "a man, a man?" the design of it is, they say, to comprehend the Gentiles, who are equally cautioned against incests as the Israelites; and indeed the inhabitants of the land of Canaan are said to defile the land with the incests and other abominations hereafter mentioned, and for which they were driven out of it: now when man and woman are forbidden to "approach" to those of the same flesh and blood with them, the sense is not that they may not come into each other's company, or make use of any civil or friendly salutations, or have a free and familiar conversation with each other, provided that modesty and chastity be preserved; but they are not so to draw near as to lie with, or have carnal knowledge of one another, in which sense the phrase is used, Gen_20:4; or to tempt to it or solicit it, and as it follows, which explains the meaning of it: to uncover their nakedness; that is, those parts, which, by a contrary way of speaking, are so called, which should never be naked or exposed to view; but should be always covered, as nature teaches to do, and as our first parents did, when they perceived themselves naked, and were ashamed, Gen_3:7, this phrase signifies the same as to lie with another, or have carnal knowledge of them, wherefore the following laws are generally understood of incestuous marriages; for if such an action is not to be done between persons standing in such a relation, as here in general, and afterwards more particularly described, then there ought to be no intermarriages between them; and if such marriages are forbidden, and such actions unlawful in a married state, then much more in an unmarried one; wherefore the several following instances are so many breaches of the seventh command, Exo_20:14, and so many explications and illustrations of it, and consequently of a moral nature, and binding upon all men, Jews and Gentiles: I am the Lord; that gave this caution, and enjoined this prohibition, and would greatly resent and severely revenge the neglect of it: the particulars follow.

Do you realize in the time before gutenberg, translators used to write in the margins of the Bible or what they considered to be sacred texts. And it was their own translation/commentary. For example the Virgin Mary was never a God damn virgin. The word for Virgin in Aramaic is the same as the word for "young maiden." And if you think it's the literal word of god? Let's rock; Why are there four gospels and why do so many key elements only appear in one version and not the other three? Pretty f****** simple. When you have four different witnesses and some of them had never even MET jesus? Couldn't pick him out of a f****** lineup? And you say that's the literal word of god? Seriously, you don't have to be a liturgical genius to figure this one out. Ever play the pass along game? F*** I care? I pray everyday. And I believe in the teachings of Christ and existence of god.

When you make a claim, you should be able to back it up. Do you have evidence that the Bible has been altered in any meaningful way whatsoever? Have you ever heard of the Dead Sea Scrolls? Found in 1947, among them was the book of Isaac dated 125 BC. And it has no relevant changes to current Bibles. Again, it's been copied continuously for millennia. At what point did "they" put on the brakes and decide a rewrite was in order? How did "they" manage to eliminate all the other instances of the Bible so there was only one version?

I mean seriously, I thought you were kidding for a minute. You're right there wasn't a conference, officially was called a council. In fact, there were multiple councils of Nicea. You know what they did? I mean it's God damn documented. It's not debated. It's God damn historical fact; these kids decided what should and should not be in the Bible and what should and should not be interpreted in whatever way there's appropriate for the their time and they're collected congregations. You do realize that they were multiple Christian churches back in the day? Right? And by churches, I don't mean buildings or congregations, I mean entirely different concepts of the biblical word of christ. In fact, the Bible wasn't canonized until the 5th f****** century.
